The Little Wine Company Gewurztraminer

Cracka Rating

Cracka Review

Bright straw-green from the cooler reaches of the Goulburn Valley which has good varietal character with a full frame, rose petal, spice and lychee aromas and flavours; dry finish.

Winemaker's Notes

Banish the thoughts of the sweet, cloying Traminer of the 70's. Our Gewurz is racy and restrained with a crisp dry finish. It captures the flavours of musk, Turkish Delight and lychees while maintaining a beautiful line of citrus flavour to the finish. Perfectly matched with seafood, Thai food or any dish with a bit of spice.

Suzanne Little has worked hard with 'other varieties' and is rewarded here with a beautifully perfumed gewurz that shows with musk, floral notes and a bit hit of spice. Texture is gently oily but it finishes light and fresh. Impressive.

Bright straw-green;' from the cooler reaches of the Goulburn Valley', whatever that may mean; has good varietal character in a full frame, with rose petal, spice and lychee aromas and flavours; dry finish.

Bright colour, with no bronze; well constructed, but struggles to show clear varietal character;just a waft of lychee and spice.

Classic spice and rose petal aromas; very well made; flavour without phenolics.
